As Octavian sets out to make a name for himself, he refuses to compromise his ideals for money or status--a decision tested as he works his way up the ranks as a mercenary fighter and novice mage. Along the way he forges friendships, takes lovers, and makes bitter enemies, all while striving for the power he feels he deserves and can wield fairly. With the advent of the Blessed Epoch and the discovery of new cultures, the world is changing. Octavian's decisions will affect not only those closest to him but will have profound worldwide consequences that he cannot begin to imagine. For twenty years, Octavian does what he must, and his choices bring him brilliant victories alongside crushing losses. Time and again, he must choose between what is right for all and what is beneficial to him, while hoping for the wisdom to tell the difference. 606 $aMagic$7Generated by AI 606 $aAssassins$7Generated by AI 615 0$aMagic 615 0$aAssassins 700 $aLi$b August$01435467 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157776103321 996 $aCairn and Covenant$93595652 997 $aUNINA
